Poetry

Poetry Jam

This morning I attended a session about Rocky Horror Picture Show and another about a school that maintains a successful poetry slam.  Sounds fun.

After Listening to him speak, Abani autographed a copy of my book.

Li-Young Lee is an amazing poet.

I am in St. Louis at the International English Honor Society Conference.  Yesterday I heard him perform six pieces of poetry.  http://www.blueflowersarts.com/li-young-lee

I spent most of last evening reviewing Parker Palmer's The Passionate Teacher for the conference session I am co-leading with John Kerrigan from Rockhurst University.  I've been preparing topics and questions for the panel.

Tonight is a speech by Chris Abani who is the author of the famous Song for Night, a novella about Nigerian child soldiers.
